It’s a cloudy morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. Yesterday was like summer, today is so so. But not too cold with the temperature sitting at 14.1 C | 57.38 F. Highway 522 was very busy yesterday with campers, trucks loaded with four wheeler’s, all kinds coming into the area for the hunt. I have to say I never seen so many hunters as this year. I suppose it is a good reason to get out of the cities. Can’t say I blame them in some ways. Knowing that though, we here have to take extra precautions for sure. This virus is starting to really gain ground now. I would think a lot is from opening up the school. And of course those that doesn’t wear a mask when out and about. At any rate. Yesterday my wife and I took it easy with both of us having sore backs. Today we will be doing the same. Can’t do much else. LOL With that I am off for my morning cup of coffee and a bowl of oatmeal with my lovely wife and will then see what develops. Take care, stay safe and do what’s right with this virus.

Good Morning Nov 8/2020
So how you all doing on this fine morning? I say fine because it is a really nice day here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning and the temperature at the time of this post was sitting at 8 C | 46.4 F. It will warm up a lot as the day moves forward. The nice thing is the warm sunny days will remain with us for the next three days. I put my lawn chairs away for the winter, but the day before last I took them back out and set them on the front porch for my wife and I to do some front porch sittin’, which we have been doing. It’s just perfect out there, no bugs, not to hot and lots of sunshine. I am thinking everyone should be outside soaking up some of that much-needed Vitamin D3. Especially with this virus among us. Yesterday my wife and I took it a bit easy as both of us are hurting a bit. So the only answer to that is rest for a spell. Seems every year we over do things a bit. Our minds say go ahead and do it but our bodies say …. whole up there a minute. LOL Oh well … such is that. On another note I see the Robbins are still with us. They have been chowing down on some small apples that is left on our tree beside the cottage. They are nice to watch. The bird feeder is also having its share of visitors but not so much since it got warm. I suppose they found natural food in the bush. But I know they will be back once the snow and cold weather is upon us. We sure enjoy watching them throughout the winter months and summer too for that matter. So with that I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife and will then see what the day has in store for us. Take care and stay safe. This virus is getting much worse. GW
Good Morning Nov 5/2020
It’s a really nice morning here in Port Loring, Ontario, Canada. The sun is shinning, and the temperature at the time of this post was sitting at 10.5 C | 50.9 F. The warm temperatures should stay with us until next Tuesday. Which will make things pretty nice for our area. Especially if you want to do some outside work. I have a few things to do, but for most parts we are set for winter. Highway 522 is bare and dry with a few cars moving around. At this time of year it is mostly locals going here and there. For my wife and I we don’t go very far these days. Maybe every two weeks or so, we head off to North Bay for some groceries, but that’s about it. If we don’t need to go into stores we don’t. Looking outside things are really nice and green. The grass is as green if not greener than it has been all summer. I also notice a few Robbins chowing down on some worms on our lawn for the past few days. Nice to see, but I am thinking they will be heading south where it is warmer shortly. On another note I have been busy working on some things in the basement along with some work on my podcasts and things. Seems there is a never ending of things to do. The good thing is, they are all things I enjoy doing. Today I will take it a bit easy, as my old back, along with my wife’s back isn’t the greatest these days. So I am thinking we both need some downtime. All work and no play, isn’t always the best, especially when you are getting up there in years. So with that, I am off for my morning cup of coffee with my lovely wife, and will then let the day do as it wants. Best not to make too many plans. LOL Take care, stay safe and do what’s right when it comes to this virus. It’s the only defence we have at the moment. GW
